OK, do you know of a sale coming up! What a dream come true to just shop at reduced prices and free shipping.

Come on, where is the sale? LOL

I would buy fabric and rulers.

Unfortunately, not a sale. A friend who owns a fabric store is giving me a one time opportunity as a favor.

I would definitely pick up six yards of of each favorite fabric. Batting can always be purchased at Joanns with a 40-50% off coupon (tools and rulers as well). But good LQS fabrics are never found on sale. If you make Christmas presents for family - now would be the time to plan and purchase for that. (Even if you aren't making a Christmas item). A quilt for Christmas? Any fabric you love or they will love. Fabric, fabric, fabric! (Also think blenders - can be used with anything - any time.)

Fabric. Definatly fabric.

If this were me this is what I would get:
*Moda marbles (for stained glass wallhangings)
*Purples that I really liked (for planned cathedral quilt)
*Kona solids in black (can never have enough black!)
*Asian prints (want to make a scrappy origami crane quilt)
*Black crackle fabric (for heavy metal t-shirt quilt)
*Anything else I could use and/or just fell in love with

You should be asking yourself what you need. Let's say you've "always wanted to do a (insert quilt name) quilt". Why not get fabric and supplies for that? Or if you use a lot of a certain fabric, stock up on that (like me with solid blacks). Perhaps get something that's completely out of your normal confort zone...like, hypothetically, if you told yourself you would NEVER make a quilt with orange or 1930's reproduction prints...and decide to try and make something with that.

I would get as much Lila Tueller fabric as I could. I just love her stuff.

When I stock up and find a good buy the first thing I want is batting and lots of it. Next I look for a good deal on rotary blades and backing. I currently appreciate the 108" wide fabrics for backing.
I look for things I know I will use and generic is fine, doesn't have to match or anything at the point of purchasing my bargins.
Have fun with it. Get one special splurge you always wanted. After all it is wholesale. Go crazy and enjoy!

Echoing the batting. Buying it in bulk is immensely helpful, if you have a place to stash the roll.

I bought a 40yd roll of 90" wide batting, at 40% off plus free shipping. Booyah! :)

Otherwise, blenders, definitely blenders, in different styles. I am constantly looking for that one fabric to tie three or four others together into a cohesive design. I am trying to work through my stash, so if I could have an unlimited supply of blenders, that would be heaven!

I would be selfish and buy the fabric/material to make myself my dream quilt. If there was any money left over, I would buy what I could of misc things like speciality rulers, a larger cutting mat, extra blades for my rotery cutter or thread. Have fun and enjoy shopping.

Batting and white on white fabric!

It depends on what you've got already really - when you consider your stash do you have any 'holes' that need filling? If you already have a load of batting and blenders then you may want to explore getting notions (like rulers) that you wouldn't normally get but fancy trying, and/or print fabs from a favourite designer. Do you like scrappy quilts or matched ones? Is now the time to get fabric from a collection to make a matched quilt, or do you just want to go wild and get a little bit of what you fancy?

If it were me I would be wanting to blend some practicality (what do I actually need) with some fun (what do I just WANT - you know, when you look at a fabric/item and have a gut reaction even tho you have no clue what you'll use it for. Or when.)

If you're feeling a bit 'oh, where do I begin?', then maybe start with the practical hole-filling first!!

I'm very envious - have a lot a fun, and let us know what you end up with!!
